It looks useful, but as far as I can tell, it's just another IPC thingie that works through sockets, sort of like pyro without the remote objects. I don't see how it's related to Erlang-like concurrency (which means ultralightweight coroutines, not heavyweight Unix or Windows processes). I think Python concurrency schemes get interesting when they at least share memory (like POSH). Otherwise I think of them more as "distributed" than "concurrent". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
